GoodBookStall Review:
Each story of the series is also available as a free online film with the story read by Bear Grylls and there are pages with help for parents at the back of the book. The price of book includes postage from publisher.
This is a series of books written for children 3-7 with special needs, this time about Sam. Sam is very poorly and the adults around him know he has not long to live. Another child who knows that they are going to have a short life, may be encouraged to face what could be a terrifying future with far more confidence if helped by this story.
Sam has been told that Jesus is his friend and that when Jesus’ friends die they go to live with him in heaven – no more pain, no more suffering. He is encouraged to imagine what the rooms in Jesus’ house are like and makes pictures to go into ‘his’ book, about his life. He joins in as many of the church and family activities as possible and knows he is loved here on earth too.
